Harriet Walter's quotes

• I'm childish and silly. Most people tease me because I'm a bit daft.
• I'm not very good at going to sleep, and that's probably my worst problem. I don't need much more than seven and a half hours, but I probably get six. I take all my problems to bed with me and fret. I can't switch off.
• I lived with my mother all my life until she died, and I don't really think I knew her, because I was always using her as my mother, if you know what I mean.
• I think the way you look gets you certain jobs. I look like I could be scary. I do.
• It's always been about being able to put yourself out there. That's where I've not been very good. There are people who can play the game way better than me. And that's why I should have got stronger agents earlier, because they play the game for you.
• Functionally in drama, an older woman -if she's there at all- is often the brick wall. The drama happens when the young person meets the brick wall and meets opposition.
• Partly because of the way I look and sound, this is the reality of casting, I'm not going to play the cuddly working-class granny.
• [on Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)] A crucial seven seconds in my career.
